Scream+The Glory+Incidental BL
Headline says it all. If you took the movie Scream, added The Glory with a peppering of Thai BL, DFF would be the result.
what starts as a love letter to American 90s slasher films quickly plants its roots in Thai culture. The result might have been messier in less capable hands (definitely not perfect by any stretch of the imagination). The director was able to get some really decent performances from a very young and inexperienced cast (Jin, Phee, Non, Tee) and there was nothing gratuitous about the NCs- in fact, I felt they served narrative purpose you don’t often find in Thai BLs.
For fans of smartish slasher films, I strongly recommend. For fans looking for a morally ambiguous romp, I highly recommend.
